I have played all three and owned the SE+...for 2 days. Returned it. I thought the high gain was fizzy compressed....just bleh! The cleans were amazing though. Definitely try one before you buy because many people feel the same way about the SE+. Some people love it, too. I got it from Tone Merchants and I got all my money back but normally they charge 10% I think for returns. Noel was cool about it since it was a misunderstanding about the mods that were actually done on it.
This Reb Beach video where he uses the SE+ sounds pretty accurate of the tone I was getting with it . It does sound cool for leads but high gain rhythm tone IMO sounded just....not right. Mine had 5881 tubes and regular trannies while alot of people really like the el34s with plexi trannies. Suhr said he would charge me $200 for the plexi trannies and put in el34s for free but he also said that if I did not like the tone as it was already, the mods would do little to change that and el34s would actually make the cleans not as 'Fender-ish'...so I just returned it.

I was under the impression he was still using the SE and hadn't got his SE upgraded to the '+'?
It's confusing because some people will tell you it's not a '+' without the plexi trannies and el34s
but I was told it is a '+' if it has the whomp switch and the improved unboosted mode with more gain than the SE version, which
does not have to include having plexi trannies and el34s. It's easy to get confused and that's where Noel at Tone Merchants was confused as well, which is why I got a full refund.
According to the Suhr site it says he is using the SE+ but regardless of which version he was using here, the video is accurate of the lead tones I was able to get.
